Human Resources at Illinois State University announced LinkedIn Learning as a new and exciting personal and professional development resource in Illinois State University’s e-learning portfolio. LinkedIn Learning is available to faculty and staff.

Why we chose to partner with LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is an award-winning industry leader in online training, with a digital library of more than 16,000 courses, covering a wide range of topics that encompass equity and inclusion, technical aptitude and application, leadership, mindfulness, and so much more. Courses are accessible 24/7 from a desktop or mobile device allowing for self-paced and on-demand learning and will be integrated through My.IllinoisState.edu.

Lifelong learning reflects Illinois State University’s core values, and LinkedIn Learning offers content aligned with Educate  Connect  Elevate: Illinois State – The Strategic Plan for Illinois’ First Public University 2018-2023.

LinkedIn Learning also offers tremendous potential for managers and employees to create development plans as part of the performance review process. Effective leaders are committed to developing their staff, and they understand fundamentally that supporting a workplace culture that fosters learning and development requires continuous personal commitment and access to resources. Human Resources is working with a team representing a cross-section of faculty and staff from all divisions to also review, recommend, and cultivate learning modules and sessions that will be featured on the Illinois State LinkedIn Learning landing page soon.

The page will look like this:
